Rebels hold pattern as armistice questioned by ICC talks
Sananikone said Pathet Lao and neutralist Prince Souvanna Phouma rejected an ICC letter from Vientiane to its rebel-held Xieng Khouang. The government asked for another meeting on Wednesday and awaited a response. The initial refusal did not trigger a crisis but added delay and confusion amid a fragile cease-fire. No major battles were reported, though a Pathet Lao artillery attack hit Padong, a key Meo tribal base 20 miles southwest of Xieng Khouang, with other smaller incidents noted.
